So, I believe that I was the victim of "polyp bailout syndrome". A while back, I had a few issues with my tank (including this one! http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/f14/ultimate-oops-probably-killed-all-my-corals-58245/) that led to losing a few frags of pocillopora and birdsnest corals. Lately I have noticed dozens of spots on my LR and on my glass that are obviously SPS corals starting to encrust and produce more polyps. They are still quite small now, and won't be able to get pics until my brother comes over with his good camera, but I am pretty sure they are pocilloporas.
How common is this?
Isn't it cool that I sacrificed A couple frags and a mini colony for dozens of fresh naturally formed corals?
Wouldn't you think this is a sign that my tank is doing extremely well now compared to when they "bailed out"?
Well, I'm excited, and I'm going to let them grow out as much as I can until I have problems with space and have to give 'em away! Will take pictures ASAP, but they are all getting bigger with more polyps everyday!
